Former Wildcat guard Jodie Meeks made his NBA summer debut Tuesday night for the Milwaukee Bucks after a highly successful career at UK.

Meeks only logged two minutes of action in the Bucks’ 83-81 loss to the Chicago Bulls, missing his only 3-point attempt, but the game action was yet another step in Meeks’ successful journey to the NBA.

Remember, just two years ago the Norcross, Ga., native was battling a nagging injury and the NBA seemed like a long ways away. A record-breaking 54-point performance and a prolific scoring season later, Meeks has found himself in line for some playing time after a second-round NBA selection.

If Meeks’ performance in the NBA Summer League is any indication, he should be getting a lot more minutes as the season wears on.
